Introduction 1.1 Introduction to HELP-international and the first work package Introduction to HELP-international This research project is an extension to the project Higher Educated Location Preferences (HELP UvA-VU). The objective was to focus on the housing and location preferences (stated and re- vealed) of international migrants, particularly those with higher-level education and/or skills, and if possible with special attention for sectors of the economy, such as creative and knowledge in- tensive industries, which are widely regarded to be vital for the Dutch economy. The attractiveness of cities to these international migrants is widely regarded as one of the key factors for the flourishing and growth of urban areas in the coming decades. The project consists of four projects that will together generate an extensive and up-to-date view on and insight in the housing requirements of this particular category. The highly-skilled international migrants are divided in two categories: the directly immigrating migrants, who obtained their skills elsewhere; and the international students, who obtained their skills in the region and who might or might not consider to stay in the Amsterdam or Eindhoven region. We will start with an overview of the literature about housing orientations of high-skilled transna- tional migrants and students (contributions from all projects); this will be followed by an investi- gation of the stated preferences of high-skilled transnational migrants (project 1); we will add to this an analysis of the kind of relationship that is maintained between international students and the metropolitan area of Amsterdam after the international students finished their studies in Am- sterdam (project 2). In project 3, we will build a general model for location choice of high-skilled international migrants and connect the model to a simulation tool that calculates and visualizes the model outcomes under different scenarios. In project 4, the focus will be on the dynamics of the international migrants in general, and those working in creative and knowledge intensive in- dustries, after arrival and after settling in the urban region. How are their residential preferences changing over time and how do they compare with other categories? The remainder of this report will deal with the first work package: the stated preferences of skilled migrants. The first work package of HELP-international This study is based on the outcomes of a ‘stated choice’ survey, in which almost 2,800 respond- ents were asked to choose between several alternatives of possible dwelling types, locations and residential milieus and ask them which alternative they would prefer if it would be available. The questionnaire also focused on the relative importance that knowledge workers attach to several soft and hard conditions at the regional and neighbourhood level. In addition, the stated choices of immigrant creative knowledge workers are compared to those of other categories of workers to find out to what extent creative knowledge immigrant workers have residential preferences that 4 Stated preferences of international knowledge workers in The Netherlands differ from those of other groups. These differences may have to be taken into account in the development of housing projects in the urban region under study. This subproject complements the stated preference research in the URD project ‘Implications of location preferences of highly educated workers for spatial development of metropolitan areas’ (HELP UvA-VU, work package 2), which deals specifically with different residential preferences between different occupation groups: technical and creative workers.1 1.2 Background and societal relevance As a result of the growing importance of creative and knowledge-intensive sectors in both national and regional economies, combined with a growing internationalisation of the economies, academic and policy interest in transnational migrants in those sectors has grown recently. In TIME of March 5th 2012 (pp. 40-44) it is argued that the international orientation of European economies has helped them to stay important. In this article, it was calculated based on Eurostat data that The Netherlands actually needs over 600,000 international workers extra before 2050 in order to survive in the ever more globalising economy. As a result, cities have to strengthen their links to global pools of creative-knowledge talent in order to remain competitive and must pay increasing attention to the conditions that attract and retain highly skilled international migrants. Interna- tional migration of highly skilled people serves different purposes in the economy. It can fill short- term labour gaps or be used to address long-term skills shortages and help with the gradual de- velopment of a skilled labour force. Whereas many countries previously pursued restrictive immigration policies, in the past decade, policies were developed by the European Union (EU) and European cities and countries to attract highly skilled foreign workers. This development was spurred by labour shortages in the infor- mation technology sector and in parts of service industries such as banking and the health sector. Already in 1999, EU countries formulated a common framework to manage migration and an im- portant role was ascribed to legal migration for the enhancement of the knowledge-based econo- my in Europe in the ‘Hague Programme’ of 2004. In 2007, a Blue Card for highly-skilled workers from outside the EU was proposed, which offered them the chance to gain

  • The EDM Festival Sensation a Case Study in the Netherlands
    The EDM Festival Sensation A Case Study in the Netherlands Wageningen University Department of Environmental Sciences Cultural Geography Chair Group Examiners: Dr. Chin Ee Ong Dr. Claudio Minca Thesis code: GEO 80436 Date: March 13, 2015 Elizabeth Anne Dineen 900213184130 THE EDM FESTIVAL SENSATION: A CASE STUDY IN THE NETHERLANDS Summary Electronic dance music (EDM) is a popular genre of music that has garnered enormous global success over the past decade. Nowadays, EDM festivals are one of the most common types of music festivals in the growing festival industry, which is an important sector of the current world leisure and tourism industry. EDM is also a type of musical sub-culture that comes with a package of socially created meanings and associations. This study focused on the total EDM experience at music festivals and gathered important information about the significance and practices that are associated with the sub- culture phenomenon. Two methods were used to complete this study, a questionnaire to frame the research and interviews to collect more in-depth data on the topic. The questionnaire sample found that the average age of an EDM festivalgoer in the Netherlands is 22.5 years old and that EDM festivals are enjoyed evenly between the sexes. EDM festivals are not a one-time visit event but are seen as places to go more often than once. The top motivations for going to an EDM festival were to have fun with friends, musical line-up and the overall reputation of the festival. The main activities reported at EDM festivals from this sample were dancing, drinking alcohol, socializing and taking drugs and almost all EDM festivalgoers reported being satisfied after attending an event.

Rianne van Melik September 2018 “For those who have not refused the call, the first encounter of the hero-journey is with a protective figure who provides the adventurer with amulets against dragon forces he is about to pass.” (Campbell, 1968) 2 Executive summary Geographic space and location are key determinants in the process of innovation, technological change, and eventually, knowledge transfer (Audretsch & Feldman, 2003, p.1). The modern economy is highly dependent on well-trained knowledge workers who play a role of an economic growth motor. Their flow promote the global knowledge transfer which is one of the most important factors of the current globalization. Thus, the interest into the phenomenon of expatriation is rapidly increasing. An expatriate experience is characterized by multiple roles, balancing between two or more places, between two or more cultures. Expatriates are forced to confront one’s own cultural illusion. Moreover, they are forced to be involved into a new culture, language, life and work environment. The current research frames the challenges that arise after the entrance in a new country, i.e. on the “Living in” period. It involves the difficulties that expatriates might experience on the way from “honeymoon”, when expatriates come to the country to cultural shock, and finally, adjustment to a new place. Moreover, this research focuses on the transformative nature of the expatriate experience.
